Mawiw Student Awards
Through financial contributions provided by Emera New Brunswick and Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, the MAWIW Council has developed a student award program designed to recognize the exceptional efforts of our members attending post-secondary institutions.
Emera New Brunswick, Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline and the MAWIW Council are committed to the future generations of Wolastoqey and Mi'kmaq youth through personal and academic development. This educational initiative is designed to help youth set higher goals and to recognize and encourage their achievements.
